A Brain:p

Lets Clear Up Some Fog:

Q. What Is Base Rom?
A. The Rom which Is developed and working for YOUR Device.

Q. What is Port Rom?
A. The Rom that you want to port to your Device.

Q. What Roms Can I port?
A. Any Cyanogenmod Based Roms, You cannot port AOSP to CM Based roms with this guide. For AOSP you can only port AOSP based roms.

Q. What about Hybrid Roms? Can I port those?
A.Yes and No. Before you port Hybrid Roms, read the threads carefully. Hybrid Roms are based on one Rom with "cherrypicks" of others. Find out what it is based on. If it is based on CM with cherrypick from aosp, slimrom,etc. than YES. If it is based on AOSP with cherrypicks of CM than NO.
